Have googled for aquarium cycling and there seems
to be 301,000 different opinions on how to do it.
A straw poll, how many believe in the chemical
approach and how many in hardy fish and does
anyone have a method involving black cats and
ouija boards ?.

As I understand it "cycling" is too get the level
of good bacteria up so they can "eat" fish waste
and convert it into nitrites then convert these
nitrites to nitrates.

I use no chemicals and no fish. Just a little liquid ammonia in place of
the ammonia produced by fish. Best method imo. Works great with no stress
to any fish at all. Once it is cycled I can stock it completely.
